Lyrics

Packing Blankets

[Verse 1]

Today is a lovely day to run

Start up the car with the sun

[Chorus]

Packing blankets and dirty sheets

A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up

All the troubles you and I have seen

[Verse 2]

Cross when the drawbridge light is green

Don't look back to that messed-up scene

[Chorus]

Packing blankets and dirty sheets

A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up

All the troubles you and I have seen

[Bridge]

And all our troubles will be gone

Blowing out over that bridge

Floating up into the sky

Making the storm clouds cry

La-da-da-da-da

La, la-da-da-da

[Verse 3]

Put out that smoke and breath some air

Get a new name and cut your hair

[Chorus]

Packing blankets and dirty sheets

A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up

All the troubles you and I have seen

Eels - The Deconstruction
